a) x – 2y + 6 = 0 b) x + y = 1 c) y = 1 d) y = -3x + 8

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

<em><u>a. The points (-4,1) and (2,4) both lie on the line</u></em>

The general line equation on which (a, b) and (c, d) lies is:

y-\mathrm{b}=\frac{d-b}{c-a}(x - a)

Here the given points are (a, b) = (-4, 1) and (c, d) = (2, 4)

Thus the required equation is:

y-1=\frac{4-1}{2-(-4)}(x-(-4))

On solving we get,

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{2+4}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{6}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2(y-1)=1(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2 y-2=x+4} \\\\ {\rightarrow x-2 y+6=0}\end{array}

<em><u>b.) m= -1 and the point (2, -1) lies on the line</u></em>

The equation of line in point slope form is y – b = m(x – a)  

where m is slope and (a, b) is a point on it

Here m = -1 and (a, b) = (2, -1)

Thus the required equation is:

y – (-1) = -1(x - 2)  

y + 1 = -x + 2  

y = -x + 2 -1  

y = -x + 1

<em><u>c. )It has the same slope as y = 5 and passes through (1, 1)</u></em>

our line has same slope with y = 5, then our equation would be y = k  and it passes through (x, y) = (1, 1) so, then by substitution

1 = k

k =1  

Then our equation will be y = k

y = 1

<em><u> d. ) m= -3 and it has a y-intercept of (0, 8)</u></em>

line equation in slope intercept form is y = mx + b where m is slope and b is y – intercept.

Then, our equation will be y = -3x + 8

We took y- intercept = 8 as it is the value of y when x = 0
